Groundwater Usage and Strategic Complements: Part I (Instrumental Variables)
Games, 2022 We test whether the decisions in a common-pool resource game are better modeled game-theoretically as strategic substitutes or complements using an individual-level dataset of groundwater usage that accounts for 3% of US irrigated agriculture. Based on a

Causal Spillover Effects Using Instrumental Variables [PDF]
Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2020 I set up a potential outcomes framework to analyze spillover effects using instrumental variables. I characterize the population compliance types in a setting in which spillovers can occur on both treatment take-up and outcomes, and provide conditions ...

Does aid fuel corruption? New evidence from a cross-country analysis
Development Studies Research, 2021 This study estimates the effect of foreign aid on corruption using a Two-Step Least Squares method. We address endogeneity using instrumental variables that capture geographical and cultural proximities between donor and recipient countries.

Weak Instruments in Instrumental Variables Regression: Theory and Practice
Annual Review of Economics, 2019 When instruments are weakly correlated with endogenous regressors, conventional methods for instrumental variables (IV) estimation and inference become unreliable. A large literature in econometrics has developed procedures for detecting weak instruments

Determinantal Generalizations of Instrumental Variables
Journal of Causal Inference, 2018 Linear structural equation models relate the components of a random vector using linear interdependencies and Gaussian noise. Each such model can be naturally associated with a mixed graph whose vertices correspond to the components of the random vector.

Orthogonal Polynomials for Seminonparametric Instrumental Variables Model [PDF]
, 2014 We develop an approach that resolves a {\it polynomial basis problem} for a class of models with discrete endogenous covariate, and for a class of econometric models considered in the work of Newey and Powell (2003), where the endogenous covariate is ...

Granular Instrumental Variables
Journal of Political Economy, 2020 We develop a new method to construct instruments in a broad class of economic environments. In the economies we study, a few large firms, industries, or countries account for an important share of economic activity.
